The Best Of Last Night’s ‘Archer’: Let’s Talk Female Body Inspectors & ‘Archer Vice: House Call’

For my money “House Call” is the most complete “Archer Vice” installment yet. It just feels like Archer has officially completed the Vice pivot and found its groove. Both mainstream and obscure pop culture references were at a record clip last night, running jokes evolved as they only can on Archer, and — of course — there was an FBI-Myrtle Beach bit for the ages. That was the exact moment I knew Season 5 is only going to keep getting better and better.

Also, Woodhouse fans rejoice! Nice to see that old smack fiend take a more prominent role in this week’s shenanigans. “God knows he’s a little GILF.” I have a feeling there’s even more Woodhouse to come.

Before we get to the best lines, moments, and references as determined by me, let me take a moment to congratulate Beer Guy Rob for winning last week’s Archer Season 4 Blu-ray giveaway for discovering for all of us that Matt is working on a pilot with Bill Hader. Derbel McDillet came in a close second for prompting a Conway Stern email. We’ve got more guests and Blu-ray giveaways coming soon, so keep those typing fingers sharp. Or something like that.

“And I’m not a doctor… I mean, I’m definitely a doctor…” — Krieger will never not be the best.

Pop Culture Reference Count:Doctor Who, The Incredible Hulk, The French Connection, Aliens, Hunchback of Notre Dame, Scooby Doo, Minitel, and I’m still unclear if “tit bondage porn” is a thing, but it feels like a pop culture reference and I really want an excuse to type it so I’m including it here. Did I get them all? Probably not! Bring it!

I literally just signed up after years of reading this site to mention Krieger’s false diagnosis of Ron.
While the others are saying mumps or something, Krieger shouts “Progeria, (bites fist) he’s just a little boy”
Just pure quality.

I had a little “aww” moment when Archer admitted that he looked up all the different things that could cause birth complications. That whole tender moment between Archer and Lana was my favorite part of the episode actually.

This episode….god damn. I woke my kids up when Archer started asking about “phrasing”.
“Daddy, what are you laughing about?”
“It’s a Daddy show. Go back to bed, sweetie.”
“But it’s a cartoon. That’s a kid show.”
“But they use grown up language and do silly things.”
“Like Spongebob?”
“Yes, sweetie. Like Spongebob. Now go to bed.”

It is definitely the kind of thing Archer would say with absolute certainty because he’s an idiot who thinks he’s right all the time.

From the official KY Jelly website:

What is the meaning behind the brand name “K-Y®”?

The origins of the brand name “K-Y®” are unknown. Two popular myths are that (1) it was created in Kentucky and (2) the letters represent the key ingredients used to make the lubricant. Although we can confirm that neither of these myths are true, the origin/meaning of the name continues to remain somewhat of a mystery.
